How do I stop missing my ex?

Understand that you're actually not missing the person; you're missing the feelings of the good times spent together, and of course who would not want to be feeling good (again)? Life is like reading a book, that relationship is an old chapter, you've now turned the page and it's a new chapter. The old chapter is there, it exists, it's in the past. Time to focus on the present chapter, after all, you have no choice.

No one can stop missing someone who has been very important in his life. It takes time. Keeping your mind busy, meeting new people and learning new habilities helps you getting some perspective and going over it.

From my personal experience, although this may sound a bit extreme. The first step I took was to limit all contact with my ex for a period of time, this meant blocking them on social media so then I couldn't physically see the person, yes they were in my mind but not right in front of my face. Yes this is hard, and at first it feels like torture because for some reason you feel like you just HAVE to see what they're up too, when they were last active etc... Anyway trust me on this, go with it, just try it for a week at least. Secondly, it is important to accept the fact that you will miss this person, they played a significant role in your life and so it is only natural that you miss them. Give yourself time to heal, be patient with yourself, things will get better when you realise that as the days go by you are surviving without them, whether it feels awful or not, you are managing without them. Eventually you will realise you do not need them, whether that's in a weeks time or over a year, allow yourself however long it takes. Thirdly, surround yourself with others: friends, parents, even your pets (dogs and cats are therapy!), you may not feel like it but believe me being around others is a distraction. And lastly, if there really is no one you can spend time with, distract yourself. Go on a long walk whilst playing music (happy music though), sign up to a new dance class, literally anything that floats your boat. Just do something, get back out there because you owe it to yourself, and you deserve it.

My answer is going to be very blunt. So, it will either hit the bull's eye or miss it completely. So, I apologise if it hurts you in anyway. From what I have observed, missing someone comes in waves: sometimes you are drowning in them, sometimes it's all dry over the place. However, what you need to understand is, the person is your *ex* i.e someone who isn't in your life anymore. There is no way to get them back, all that's left is to just get it over with. You have to let things go. So, I would suggest to respect yourself, get you life back and try to fall in love with yourself. Take time off everything. Go on long soothing walks for *yourself*, dress up, go sight seeing for *yourself*, do things *you* enjoy, any hobbies you wanted to pursue, or any book you have always wanted to read. Spas, salons, hairstyles, make up, anything that catches your attention, makes you feel good, do it. However, there is a significant line I would like you to notice: don't do that to get your ex back or for someone else, do it for yourself. You have been trying very hard, you have been doing a lot for others, it's been painful for you and you have been enduring that for long. Now, you deserve better, you deserve you. You need you, so, take care of yourself, get your life back and plan to get your smile back in the meantime.

It's normal to feel like this.Because you had lots of things together.But you should aware of that you guys broke up.Close your eyes and say it to yourself.I'm not saying it's easy but you can handle it! Also clear things from him/her maybe help too.There are lots of fishes in the sea! And don't forget everthing has a reason.Be calm,be strong,be confident.Everything will be okay !

I understand your feelings and I have been in your shoes. I assume that you two haven't had any closure or anything. I suggest that you talk about the past and get some closure. If you still feel the same maybe it's because you had deep feelings for him. If it goes as far as you wanting to harm yourself, contact a hotline or professional person.

There's no true and tried method to stop you from missing anybody, whether it's your ex, a family member or someone who has passed away. What you can do is understand that the loss of someone causes grief, and missing them comes with a lot of mixed feelings and emotions that you might not be used to. Something which can often help is just acknowledging that what you are feeling is natural and giving yourself the space and permission to grieve.

Breakups are tough, I understand. The first step is ultimately to grieve. It is okay to mourn this loss. Your feelings shouldn't be dismissed and trying to suppress them can make things harder on you. Cry if you need to let it all out. What you can do is try to avoid having anything around you that reminds you of him, such as his old clothes, the gifts he bought for you, pictures. Also, try to busy your mind and body. You can try to go out for a jog, do something you enjoy, or meet up with friends :) Another thing is to stop checking up on him through social media. You will not be able to get over him, if you are seeing his status updates. Ultimately, focus on other things and taking care of yourself

think back to when you didn't even know your ex existed, to when you were happy.. without them being in your life. no matter how hard it may seem now, remember that at one point in your life you were strong without them, you were happy without them. remember those times and cherish them. because more will come in the future.

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss it can be very difficult. People will come and go in your life for the majority of your life you just need to keep your head high and have faith in finding someone else and doing the things you most enjoy to distract your mind
